Hi All,
Currently, I am using DPDK 16.11 with Mellanox NIC adapters (mlx5). I encounter
a problem that the RSS hash value from mbuf (mbug.hash->rss) is not the same
as calculated from rte_softrss(). It is completely different.
I am using the default hash key from mlx5
uint8_t rss_hash_default_key[] = {
0x2c, 0xc6, 0x81, 0xd1,
0x5b, 0xdb, 0xf4, 0xf7,
0xfc, 0xa2, 0x83, 0x19,
0xdb, 0x1a, 0x3e, 0x94,
0x6b, 0x9e, 0x38, 0xd9,
0x2c, 0x9c, 0x03, 0xd1,
0xad, 0x99, 0x44, 0xa7,
0xd9, 0x56, 0x3d, 0x59,
0x06, 0x3c, 0x25, 0xf3,
0xfc, 0x1f, 0xdc, 0x2a,
};
And the following call:
auto hash = rte_softrss(&tuple.v4.src_addr, RTE_THASH_V4_L4_LEN,
rss_hash_default_key);
with RSS configurations as the following:
port_conf.rxmode.mq_mode = ETH_MQ_RX_RSS;
port_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_hf = ETH_RSS_NONFRAG_IPV4_TCP;
port_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_key= rss_hash_default_key;
port_conf.rx_adv_conf.rss_conf.rss_key_len = 40;
This is working perfectly with ixgbe but Mellanox not. Can you help me to
figure out what is the problem? What is the default Toeplitz function for mlx5?!
My NIC adapters are Mellanox Technologies MT27700 Family [ConnectX-4]
With firmware version 12.16.1006 and ofed version 3.3-2.0.0
